Track Tunes Up for Heps in H-Y-Ps

The Harvard men's and women's track teams will take on their archrivals this weekend in the much-anticipated Harvard-Yale-Princeton meet at Gordon Track Center.

This is the biggest meet of the season so far and will serve as the last tune-up before the Heptagonal Championships at Dartmouth Feb. 26 and 27.

The Crimson men face what is probably the best Ivy League team in Princeton. The senior class has never beaten the Tigers in an indoor meet, and this is their last chance to do so.

"We have lost to Princeton indoors for the past three years," senior Cabral Williams said. "And that angers me."

Princeton is a strong team with a lot of depth, and Harvard must work hard to win in as many individual events as possible.

Junior Ed Baker and senior Dave Martin are expected to lead Harvard in the distance runs, with Baker running the 3000-meter and Martin the 5000-meter.

Captain Dominic Patillo should lead Harvard in the 800-meter, and sophomores John Cinelli and John Traugott should be in front in the 1000-meter. An injury will keep co-captain Darren Dinneen out of the meet.
